Vrindavan - India - 2001/2002 'The sacred river Yamuna' is the second chapter of Doorway to Eternity. Rivers have always formed an important aspect of religious life in India. For a Hindu, bathing in a holy river is an act of ritual purification and worship. In Vrindavan the devotees worship the Yamuna by offering her a handful of her own water or lighting an oil-wick lamp.
